Rebecca Thomas leaves FOX 7 Austin


Rebecca Thomas is no longer with FOX 7 Austin KTBC as an evening anchor, a station representative confirms to mikemcguff.com.

Morning anchor Casey Claiborne has also recently left FOX 7's "Good Day Austin."

Thomas served as the weekday evening news anchor and health reporter at KTBC FOX 7 in Austin, Texas, from 2015 to 2025. There, she anchored the station’s flagship newscasts at 5, 6, 9, and 10 p.m., and produced medical segments.

Before her time in Austin, Thomas worked for Arizona’s Family 3TV KTVK and CBS 5 News KPHO Phoenix, where she contributed to CBS 5’s nightly broadcasts and served as a fill-in anchor. 

Before that, she spent nearly six years with ABC15 Arizona, where she anchored morning shows, hosted interactive news and talk programs, and reported.

Earlier in her career, Thomas anchored morning and midday newscasts in Palm Springs at both NBC Palm Springs KMIR and KESQ 3. 

She launched her broadcasting journey at KYMA 11 Yuma, Arizona, as a weekend anchor and reporter.

According to her bio, journalism runs in the family of the San Diego State University graduate.  Her grandfather was an editor at the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, and her uncle served as a photographer and photo editor for the Los Angeles Times.
